The "we'll be civil through guns" argument is profoundly destroyed by every possible empirical metric, yet somehow it always makes an appearance in every gun advocacy post. People are much more civil, social and considerate in virtually every other Western nation than in the gun crazed United States. The people who want to carry a gun are overwhelmingly the problem, and now you've armed them. Is there ever going to be a point where people stop believing the nonsense? There is a bit of a paradox that the people who eschewed masks, think COVID is a hoax or overblown/no risk, etc, are the ones sure they need to carry a gun at all times lest some sort of movie scenario erupt in front of them. It is fundamentally broken logic.
